And AR rushing wouldn't exist if the Melee wasn't overpowered.
Actually, AR rushing wouldn't exist if people had the common sense to stick them in the face before they got within melee range.
Teach those fools to strafe while advancing so its harder to get hit.
i agree; well except for the sticking part
well the problem with sticking some one who is charging you; is the grenade takes some time to blow so, the odds are you going to get and explosive bear hug. it's far more effective to just shot him or drop a nade in front of him to drop his shield. then shoot him, or do the thing that pisses me off HAVE A BR. up close you could actually rush him before he could do enough damage to kill you with the melee; melee him then head shot him, bullets go a bit faster than fist so the AR wont get off the second melee, and because the AR dose almost no Armor damage you cant just shoot him. and if your not close enough for that run backwards and shoot the AR cannot win then because BR has "HEAD SHOT", and the second you throw a grenade the guy with the BR will melee you or move forward and shoot you
when i first played halo 3 I just had to use the MA5 it has been my favorite gun since halo CE but in 3 it just a bludgeoning tool i was very disappointed.
I want the AR to be an assault rifle, not a purpose built bludgeoning tool
i think this would balance the BR and AR, and make the guns funner to use.
1- The BR should stay, but it should also be funner to use and have a different role. I would personally like it to be Semi auto. so its not another assault rifle. the definition of a battle rifle is a gas operated riffle that fire a full sized rifle rounds like the 30-06, or the 7.62x51 which ironically the AR shoots, any way i balanced it as a burst weapon as well
2- I think the AR should be the mid range jack o all trades weapon. like the AR in RFG where you have a slight zoom, becomes more accurate, and gets a smaller reticule. also make sound like the MA5B. i miss that wonderful noise; the Damage was set up. it took around 22 shot to drop the shield but 3-5 to kill once you shield was down
so what about this
AR-
Slight Aim
Fire rate- 10/sec
shield damage- 16 rounds
Armor Damage- 4 rounds
Mag size-30
2 second kill
Burst BR-
4x zoom
fire rate 6 rounds/sec or 2 burst/sec
shield damage-13 rounds
Armor damage- 1 head shot 4 torso
roughly 2.5 second kill
Note: differences from halo 3; slightly weaker, and slightly higher fire rate
Semi-Auto BR-
4x Zoom
Fire rate- 4 rounds a sec
Shield damage- 9 rounds
Armor damage- 1 head shot 3-4 torso
Mag size-20
2.5 second kill
so in this case the AR kills faster then the BR, however with the AR you have to use burst fire to accurately hit your target at longer ranges; so the delay in fire rate allows the BR to win at longer ranges.
